Simulating wind loads

[thewildcard]

Hi there, I was wondering how I could apply a load simulating wind to an object such as a pole. I am considering using a pressure load, but how can I apply the pressure load to only one side of the pole?

I have a plane that runs through he middle of the pole. Do I have to specify regions? When I try to apply a pressure load and click on one side of the pole, it applies the pressre load to all sides.

Use surface regions to divide the surface up.
